Revive JavaScript Bindings (#1177) Summary: Yoga's JavaScript bindings do not work past Node 10, or on recent versions of Ubuntu even using it. This is due to a reliance on `nbind`, a library which is no longer maintained. `nbind` itself abstracts over `embind` running Emscripten to generate an asm.js build, along with building Node native modules. In the meantime, [yoga-layout-prebuilt](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yoga-layout-prebuilt) has been used by the community instead of the official package. https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1177 was contributed as a conversion of bindings created using `nbind` to instead use `embind` directly. I continued building on this to add more: 1. WebAssembly support (required to be async in browsers) 2. CMake + Ninja Build for the 4 flavors 3. TypeScript typings (partially generated) 4. yarn scripts to build (working on macOS, Ubuntu, Windows) 5. A README with some usage and contribution instructions 6. Updated tests to work with Jest, and updated general infra 7. ESLint and clang-format scripts 8. More GitHub actions (and now testing Windows) 9. Probably more I kinda got carried away here lol The plan is to eventually publish this to NPM, but there is a little bit of work after this before that happens. Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1177 Test Plan: The bindings pass Jest tests (both manual and generated). GitHub actions added for the different yarn scripts. Did some manual checks on using the library as TS. Reviewed By: christophpurrer Differential Revision: D42207782 Pulled By: NickGerleman fbshipit-source-id: 1dc5ce440f1c2b9705a005bbdcc86f952785d94e

`yoga-layout` requires a toolchain that supports ES Modules and top-level await.
If top-level-await is not supported, use the `yoga-layout/load` entry point
instead. This requires to load yoga manually:
```ts
import { Align, loadYoga } from "yoga-layout/load";
const node = (await loadYoga).Node.create();
node.setAlignContent(Align.Center);
```
You can also use `yoga-layout/loadSeparate`, which has the exactly same api as
`yoga-layout/load`, if you want the js and wasm in separate files, this can
useful in several scenarios such as avoiding
[unsafe-wasm-eval](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/script-src#unsafe_webassembly_execution).
Do be aware that this option might not work out of the box with any and all
bundlers or frameworks
